Charterhouse archaic term for a
Carthusian monastery; in the UK, Charterhouse is now the name of a charitable institution, later a public school, founded on the site of the Carthusian monastery in London (later moved to Godalming, Surrey).
The name is recorded from late Middle English, and comes ultimately from (Old) French
Chartreuse (from medieval Latin
Carthusia), with assimilation of the second element to
house.
